Description

Leapfrog is a series of first reading books for new readers and older reluctant readers. The stories are presented in large text format and are accompanied by bright, full-colour illustrations. Little Joe's Big Race - Little Joe is not very good at sports but he is very good at balancing things. On school sports day he decides to run the egg and spoon race but it turns out to be more of a race than he expects!

After leaving Oxford with a degree in politics, philosophy and economics, Andy disappointed nearly everyone by joining a rock band.

The band disappointed the record buying public and he moved to Amsterdam where he was employed to realise the questionable ambitions of visiting American musicians.

He returned to London to become a music publisher and then a professional skateboarder.

His friend the editor Susan Hill encouraged him to write and there followed a number of books on implausibly disparate subjects.

He won the Independent/Scholastic Children's Story of the Year competition with Spare Bear, which involved drinking champagne with Andrew Marr (the awards ceremony, not the story).

Since then he has written over twenty titles, mainly for younger children and including the Little Joe trilogy.

He is also the author of books on scuba diving and ultra-marathon running, as well as a (not very) grown-up novel, Accrual World.

However, his most likely qualification for immortality so far is the advertising jingle, Um Bongo, Um Bongo, they drink it in the Congo.

Andy invented the NatWest Piggies, has run across the Sahara Desert, ridden horses through the Atlas Mountains and these days tries to suppress an unhealthy interest in fast motorcycles.

He is a mitra with the Triratna Buddhist Community, teaching meditation to prisoners in a high-security prison.

He lives in the country with his wife, an English teacher, and their daughter.
